Why do the shades of colour vary in Jerpoint Glass?
The hot glass is dipped into trays of colour to introduce it into the glass. As it is measured using the glassblowers’ skill and experience rather than being measured out exactly, the finished colours may vary slightly. Also, we buy our colour in granulated form; the colour itself is mixed by hand and therefore also varies from one batch to another. The nature, and indeed the beauty, of Jerpoint Glass is that each piece is individually handmade.
